The below study looked at messaging about biological causes of

reductionist theories.

What are your thoughts? Do you see an overemphasis on the
biological causes? If an effort is made to de-emphasize the
biological causes, does that put blame on the person suffering?
Interested in both sides of the argument.

STORY: The Five Best Ways - and Biggest Mistakes - in Developing
20-Something Workplace Talent.

THEME: Talented workers, especially impressionable young Gen
Z'ers, want to lean heavily on their bosses for professional
development, according to a new study.

Unfortunately, many managers don't prioritize developing young,
fresh out of the box workplace talent. Here's why they're
missing out - and how to make up ground fast on the 20-something
employee development front.

We'd need these questions answered for the story

1. Do you agree or disagree that not prioritizing young
workplace talent is a missed opportunity for management. Why or
why not?

2. What's the benefit of mentoring, nurturing, and grooming
20-something team members? What's the downside, if any?

3. What are your best tips for developing young workers?

4. What are the biggest mistakes?

5, Is training and nurturing 20-something workplace talent
different from training established employees? If so, how so?

6. How do you know your training of young employees is taking
flight? Or failing?

7. What are the signs that a young staffer has the "right stuff"
and should be trained for management ASAP? What are the "wrong"
signs?

Thanks in advance . . .




Requirements:

Management experts, business owners, mentors, business
professionals accustomed to training younger workers, corporate
training experts, actual managers who train young workers.

Our Thought Leaders in Online Education (TLOE) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders series (TLBD,
TLCC, TLMS). In TLOE, we interview thought leaders in the
educational technology/online education sectors -- whether they
are entrepreneurs building great companies, product/user
experience designers building great products, deans at colleges
and universities, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the education industry is evolving. We
discuss trends, disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities,
monetization models, challenges, socio-cultural impact and much
more in a seven-part series. This blog is part of the One
Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to help a
million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue. 1M/1M
has syndication relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy,
SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India), Women 2.0, Mashable,
Huffington Post, Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, and several
other sites. Articles we develop through these interviews often
get repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Sramana Mitra was also named as
one of the top 10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015
(https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. Our audience is extremely
sophisticated, so the conversation needs to be equally
interesting.

really notice the good in the beginning and miss the bad?

or, conversely, be doomed from the start?

couples.

103) Summary: New CMS prior authorization rule -- will it make a difference in providers' lives?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Public Policy and Government

Email: query-bobr@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 17 December

Query:

CMS released a rule on Dec. 10 that builds in what seem like
significant ways on the ability of health care providers to get
timely prior authorization on covered procedure -- including
requiring payers to build better digital infrastructure and
provide Document Requirement Lookup Services (DRLS).

If this is finalized, can you tell us how it would make
providers' lives and practices easier?

Also, what's missing? CMS says it's waiting for the final to
decide where Medicare Advantage plans would be covered. Is it
likely CMS will exempt those plans? What would happen to
Medicare Advantage and the provider-patient community then?

Thanks. Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Requirements:

Looking for federal health care insurance policy especially as
regards prior authorization
